i. .
radical reduction in taxation , and
congress seems disposed to meet the
demand. At present the fifty million
inhabitants of thin country are con
tributing nn average of sir or seven
dollars etch a year to the government ,
which Is some 8100,000,000 annnally
in excess of what is needed by the na
tional treasury , How to relieve the
public of thia unnecessary burden is
the problem presented to congress.
There nro two methods of taxation.
Ono consists In/levying / customs duties
on various articles from abroad which
enter into domestic consumption in
thli CDuntrjf thus enhancing their
price in proportion in the tariff im
posts. Indircc'Jly , also , the customs
dutic inqre/iso the price of every arti
cle .of the Bitao class manufactured at
homo , because thuy cut ofl foreign
conipotitlou. A tatiIT is a tax which
ia nicoiscry just in proportion to the
neccssitU-B of the truatury , and the
protection which it affords to industry
through its operation )
Another method of taxation is that
which levies impoetH on intoxicating
Ifquora and tobaccu. These taxca experience -
porionco has proved do less harm nnc
constitute Icnn burden upon trade nnc
Industry than any other taxes known
to the ccionco of finance. They are
paid raoro readily nnd with leas
grumbling than any other taxes.
Pooplp would eooncr nmoko ant
drink but their taxes than contribute
to the government in any other way
T.IO report of the secretory of the
treasury shows that the revenue of
the government for the last fiscal year
was 3103,025,250.28. Of this amount ,
in round numbers , 8220,500,000 was
derived from custom duties , ,8140 , *
500,000 from the internal revenue
and the remaining $30,000,000 from
mitcollanoons eources ,
Now , taxation may bo reduced in
two ways. ( Jongresn may order a do
orcaso in the charges of the interim
rovouno department , or it may moko
u general reduction in the tariff. Too
Increased dumaudo upon thu public
tronjury trom the pension bureau
makes it probable ( hat the treasury
will not. bear n greater reduction ir
, the revenue than aovonty millions.
Mr. Kelly proposes to reduce thin
turplua by nwepping nxvay all taxes on
tobacco , aomo § 17,000,000 , , find takes
of in addition the internal rovrnuo
on matcher , b.ui-k dopoaitn anc
chocks uud perfumery , which wil
bring thu total reduction to 75,000-
000. Thin nchcme , if carried into
effect , will , of courao , block al
piano for tariff reform. And this So
oxaotly Pig Iron Kolly'a object.
Mr. Morrison , of Illinois , who per
haps nearly roprcacnto public senti
ment , nrcoonto another muthod to reduce -
duce taxation. Ho proposed to abolish
the internal revenue taxes , amount
ing to $28,000,000 on all articles excepting
copting on liquor nnd tobacco , nnd to
make such a revision of the tariff un
der the report of the tariff commission ,
aa will doorcase the tax from customs
by $42,000,000 additionally. It will
readily bo eecn that Mr , JMorrleon'a
plan efteolo n reduction in the very
ttixas which bear most heavily upon
iho people. The tax on nntohoo ,
bauk cheoVs and dopoaitn nnd drug
gists sundries cjruo directly from the
consumers' pockota in the increased
prices paid by them for the articles
which they purchase. The taxes on
iron , , stool , wool , sugar nnd the raw
products ontorlngs into Iho irnnnfac-
turo of articles of consumption are
also paid directly by the people. The
internal revenue .taxes , nsldo from
these mentioned nbovc , nro on articles
of nccisnity. The tariff taxes uro
chiefly levied on articles of necessity.
Mr. Kolly'a plan for tax reduction is
drafted in the interest of industrial
monopolists. Ita object is to deplete
the treasury surplus without mate
rially decreasing the burdens of the
people. Mr. Morrison's method is in
accord with public sentiment , aa of-
fording a substantial relief to the
public in decreasing by nearly one-
fourth the entire burden of taxation
under which the nation is now stag-
goring. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
PRESERVE THE PARK.
While congress is In the reform
mood , it will do well to Investigate the
leasing of the Yellowstone Park to
private parties by Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Joslyn. This park was
sot apart aa a national reservation for
public use by an act of congress , and
the interior department is seriously
straining its powers when it permits it
to bo turned into a bonanza for hotel
keepers. Already throe lines of rail
road ara pointing towards the park ,
the timber is being out down to erect
buildings for the Now York oyndicnto
which holds n franchise to erect hotels
within its boundaries , and there is
every indication that with the rush of
pleasure suckers und the inauguration
of tlio various
enterprises which nro
now on foot in the interests of money
makora the object for which the park
was cot naido will bo defeated , Gon-
nrnl Sheridan , who made n viiit to the
Yellowstone Jnst summer , indignantly
protests , in a letter to the ( secretary of
war , pgainst these desecrations of the
tutional park. Ho charges that under
them "claims and conditions will nrlao
Jiat may bo hard for the government
uid the courts to shako off. " This is
without question true. Once in the .
lauds of 'jobbers , the character of the
it uvt eutueijr uctnu/eu , uu titu
squatters e nnot be dUpoueised. Not
the least of the dangers connected with
this raid is the certain destruction
of ltd feature as a great psmo pro
servo. The rapid settlement of the
country ban driven into the park im
mense herds of deer , mountain sheep
and which are now , it appears , bcinp
exterminated by hunters. It is sta'.cc
that within the paat six years as many
ai 4,000 elk have boon killed by "skin
hunters" in the park , and that during
last winter alone as many no 2,000
were olaughtcrcd , besides an immense
number of deer and mountain sheep.
General Sheridan asks that the park
bo extended in nn easterly dircctim
about forty miles to as to ndd JJ,314
milo3 to ila area and "to make a preserve
servo for the largo game of the west ,
now so rapidly decreasing. " Ho
promisesif slaughtering gtimo for their
skin in its limits is prohibited by
congrrts to protect thn park by
guard of coldiera and guarantee1 ! that
this picket duty shall bo effective.
The Park should bo preserved as n
national pleasure ground , the most
unique nnd magnificent In the world.
It is n paltry policy which would "rent
it out" to privnto par.ioH for the few
thou Bandj/Jollars / n year which such
loasinp would bring into the national
treasury. And the people of the
country will not permit the wool to bo
pulled over their eyes by n syndicate
who floek to monopolies Its advantages
to put money into their own pocketn
nt the oxponen of the best intercuts ol
the public.

For congress to onqulro into the bogus

millions of acres of land were decreed
to belong to the railroad because they

the Union Pacific was carried on at
